the mission
To change the way we look at clothes—using fashion as a force for good.
Empowering people to wear their values, build sustainable wardrobes, and advocate for a fairer fashion industry that protects people and the planet by 2030.

passion and purpose
Being ethical and sustainable doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Roberta’s work proves that when women wear their values, they lead with confidence, purpose, and power. She coined the phrase #WearYourValues in 2017 and has been true to this vision ever since.
She champions the #100wears movement, pushing to alter our expectations of clothing to be loved and worn past 30-wears. This mindset encourages intentional styling rooted in self-awareness, confidence, and long-term joy. Her coaching-led approach guides clients to create wardrobes that truly reflect who they are and what they stand for—inside and out.
She’s worked with high-profile clients for red carpets, SPOTY, COP26, and Earthshot. She also hosted two global Going Green Summits (2018 + 2019) featuring sustainability experts worldwide to discuss how businesses and consumers can help transition towards a fairer future for all and the planet.
sustainability and inclusivity
Roberta actively bridges the gap between sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity.
Her approach is values-first and people-centred, ensuring everyone feels seen, celebrated, and confident in their style.
Ethical Brand Directory
Founded in 2017, after 2 years of research and frustration, the Ethical Brand Directory (EBD) was born.
The UK’s first platform dedicated to connecting conscious consumers with ethical brands—and bringing communities together in London and online.
Roberta created EBD to bring transparency, trust, and transformation to the ethical and sustainable fashion space—and to support independent brands. Helping them to get known, liked, and trusted while supporting them in communicating their impact without greenwashing.
